Mobile device

This suggestion isn’t recommended for those who are germaphobes. It’s tough to stray towards the path of boredom with a phone or a tablet cupped in your hands while you’re engaged in that mighty big business of yours in the cubicle. To ensure that the phone is fully charged for it may take hours or maybe even days. Heck, even years before that far from aromatic business for the day is complete.

There are usually no sockets to charge your mobile devices due to safety reasons. Some may think it’s a brilliant idea to purchase an extra-long USB cable so that you’ll be able to plug it in the socket that’s located out albeit near the toilet and resume watching whatever you’re playing on your mobile device without the need to worry about it running out of battery. Alas, charging your mobile device near a location where there’s water running like the bidet and taps, is never a good idea. Simply ensure that the mobile device which would be accompanying you when you’re in your quest to conquer the boredom that comes along with constipation is complete if not most, charged before you charge towards the toilet. If you do run out of battery and your pungent business has yet to be completed, just resume what you had been doing all along before mobile devices were introduced to the world; stare at the tiles.

Speakers

Gone are the days when you’re sitting all alone in the loo with nothing to accompany you except the constant drip drops of a leaky faucet. Singing in the shower has always been a thing that’s fancied by many. Everyone seems to think that the sound emitted from the shower jets will wash down your vocalisations.

Therefore, germaphobes may be able to release a sigh of relief as it isn’t necessary to bring your mobile device in the toilet with you to bask in the glory of having your favourite tunes blaring through speakers there. Apparently, it’s also possible to do so if you’ve connected the speaker to your mobile device in advance before entering the lavatory. Do note that it’s better to place the mobile device nearer to the said lavatory that you’re about to enter to ensure that no connection is lost between device and speaker.

Some may think that Bluetooth speakers come with a hefty price and even more if they’re waterproof too. Well, you’ve guessed it wrong.
